How?
We have a vast range of bespoke and branded fonts, dispense accessories and our innovative dispense system: 'Future of Dispense' (FOD).
We are the main distributor of Celli - one of the world's leading font designers and manufacturers. When bars, chains or breweries want something different, something to make them stand out and give their customers a better experience, they call Brewfitt.
From cellar to point of sale, we put your customers first - we've been in enough bars to know what customers want! - but because we're on your side we know what you need to make your customers happy, whether that's keg couplers, branded lenses or a complete cellar system like FOD.

Richie Eales
Purchasing Assistant
Key responsibilities:
My key responsibilities are ordering, booking in and managing stock, processing and querying invoices, arranging carriage and liaising with suppliers, accounts, production and the sales team.
Skills and Experience.
It’s safe to say I love the industry I work in as anyone who knows me would agree! This became particularly apparent during my time at Leeds Met University. I really enjoy trying different beers from different venues and it makes it extra special when I come across venues that are fitted with Brewfitt products which happens frequently. In previous roles I have worked numerous years managing nights at clubs and in recruitment to name just a couple.
I think my best asset which helps me a great deal in my role at Brewfitt is my personable character. This not only helps me build relationships with suppliers but also helps me work well internally as part of a friendly Brewfitt team.
Hobbies and Interests
Apart from enjoying a very sensible number of drinks with friends as previously stated, I am a passionate lover of Leeds United which I have a season ticket with and attend frequent away games. I enjoy having a flutter on the football most weekends.

Skills and Experience
My experience lies within the engineering sector of brewery technical services, I’ve worked within the industry coming up to 17 years
In recent years I’ve focused on specialised dispense solutions but have had a broad career covering all aspects from onsite tech support for Glastonbury festival living on site for a month,
Similarly technical support to Silverstone race circuit for the British grand prix, moto grand Prix and classics, to day to day survey, installation and technical cover for uk bars, to night clubs
Hobbies
Due to the resent birth of my little boy Bennie, but previous to this my hobbies included taking things apart to repair and putting them back together (with varying success) to the occasional visits to the cricket stadiums of Yorkshire and Lancashire.
And of course regular visits to support the local pubs and bars of Yorkshire.

Experience
My career within the licensed trade began in 1997 with The Compass group and Bass Taverns in Edinburgh as a barman, that’s when my interest in cellar management was first realised. In subsequent years I worked in various management positions and held liquor licences in the free and managed house sectors. I think this first ten years of my career provided me with a great understanding of the aspects of a site`s cellar and dispense systems. In 2006 I was recruited into the then Coors Brewer`s CTS team, a position I enjoyed for some 10 years before being privileged to join the Brewfitt team in 2016 and I have enjoyed every day since!
